This Saturday, October 29, what will you be doing? If the answer isn't celebrating Mexico's Day of the Dead holiday, then you might have to re-evaluate your plans, as Espolón Tequila is holding not one, but two parties on the last Saturday of October.
The traditional Day of the Dead holiday actually runs over two separate days on November 1 and 2, when it's believed that the souls of those who have passed to the underworld can come back to visit. Families in Mexico and Latin America (and around the world) come together to welcome their loved ones back with their favourite food, drinks, candles, flowers and incense and celebrate the meaningful holiday together.
The two Espolón Tequila celebrations will run at the same time on Saturday night — at the Manly Wharf Hotel and Taylor's Rooftop in the CBD. The former kicks off at 8pm with a complimentary Espolón margarita on arrival; after that, they're $10 all night. Taylor's will be mixing up margaritas as well — a whole menu of them, in fact.
Espolón tequila is handcrafted and distilled by artisans in the Los Altos region of Mexico, which makes it the perfect drink to celebrate the Day of the Dead with. Both events are free to attend, and there will be face painters on hand to help you out with an authentic costume.
